FOLLOWING ITS MAINNET LAUNCH, WANCHAIN (WAN) SURGES OVER 50%



Wanchain’s (WAN) price increased by over 50% over the past two days, after a major announcement from the team behind the project.
The company announced that they will begin earning rewards for securing the network when the Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm replaces the previous Permissioned Proof-of-Work (PPoW) algorithm on September 3. Following last month’s partnership with the Malaysian digital giant PUC Berhard, Wanchain’s token received a boost.
“POS can get a lot of involvement from the community. Once they get used to the POS, some people will be more encouraged to use their token power to participate in all the on-chain governance and events,” Wanchain’s CEO Jack Lu, said to Tech Tic Technologies in an exclusive interview upon WAN’s beta launch.
A day before the launch of Wanchain’s Validator nodes on the Mainnet, the company announced the release of several new products. Prior to the mainnet’s official launch, an Android mobile wallet, desktop light wallet, and new website were introduced to the public.



The statement from the company also shared that over 140 validators had joined the beta test network, playing a key role and providing valuable feedback. All users were also encouraged to stake their coins before the activation of the new Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm in September.

Wanchain’s Price Reacts

Wanchain’s mission is to connect the decentralized financial world, and its price reacted immediately to the news. WAN has appreciated significantly in the last 24 hours, up almost 55% against the US dollar and 49% against Bitcoin. WAN currently possesses a market cap of just over $34 million and a price of $0.336 per coin. It’s still down 96.8% from its all-time high of $9.84, however.

Bitcoin Hash Rate Hits All-Time High: Here’s How It Works And How It Affects The Price

Bitcoin intelligence, data, and analytics firm Glassnode found the Bitcoin hash rate hit a new all-time high over the weekend, ten days before the Bitcoin halving event. In other words, miners are putting more computational power into maintaining the Bitcoin network. Because miners must venture electricity and capital intensive computer processors to mine Bitcoin, the increase in hash rate is a bullish sign. It means miners are after the Bitcoin rewards they get from maintaining the network. And they’re venturing the resources to go after those rewards. Is The Bitcoin Hash Rate Correlated With The Price? In general, the Bitcoin price and the hash rate are not correlated. The price is what buyers and sellers agree to pay for one Bitcoin, and there are many factors – external and internal – affecting the price. However, there is a relation between the two. While the price goes up, it’s more profitable to mine, which likely to cause more miners to turn on their mining equ...

CHINA 2016 BITCOIN BOOM COMEBACK? YUAN HITS 11-YEAR LOW AGAINST THE DOLLAR

Bitcoin’s price has marked a spectacular increase of around 10 percent over the past couple of days in a move that was nothing if not sudden. Comparing Bitcoin’s situation now to that of 2016, analysts and industry experts think that the instability of China’s yuan relative to the dollar could soon shift the country’s position with regard to crypto. China’s Bitcoin Fever in 2016-2017 Many are comparing Bitcoin’s parabolic price movement of 2019 to that of 2016 and 2017, when the cryptocurrency reached its all-time high price of around $20,000. Now that Bitcoin is up more than 270 percent since the beginning of 2019, it seems only reasonable to make the comparison. However, many industry experts and analysts, including Alex Saunders, CEO and Founder of Blockchain Education, tweeted that one of the key differences between then and now was China’s position. Notably, back before China issued a blanket ban on all crypto trading and exchange operations, the country wa...
